Springs - H&R and Eibach & Swaybars?

[oda]

Hello all, i am wondering whether Eibach and H&R has made a set of specific springs for Scirocco R yet? or is it the same part as for Scirocco 2.0? how much does it lower the car by and does it feel a lot harsher? (i've heard that H&R lowers more but its a lot harsher than eibach?) and for Swaybars, did H&R make a set for the R or its shared between 1.4 and 2.0?

thank you and sorry if there are any similar threads, i've searched but there isnt much info specifically for scirocco R..

Not sure on Eibach but H&R def do see here: viewtopic.php?f=50&t=7620" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

They lower the car 35mm !! I think you are getting confused with coilovers which can drop it over 50mm.

In regard to the searching there is an entire forum devoted to the R as well as multiple mod threads

Eibach are "still" developing a set of springs specific for the R.

H&R ones are NOT specific as they have springs according to axle loads. The ones suitable for the R is used for the TDI Roccos too ( and the 2.0 TSI with DSG box)

I've seen a post by andy stating that he has h&r springs specifically for rocco r that lowers the car by 25mm rather than the normal 35mm? But i couldnt find anything on h&r website, and what i meant was ive searched over the r forum but i couldnt find much info on springs regarding specifcially on R

Sorry i shouldnt post when doing 2 things at once... Yes the H&R part number 29013-2 are the compatible springs for the roc R and yes only drop between 20-25mm if you want more you need coilovers which will take you from:

29014-1, lowering 20-50mm
29000-1, lowering 40-70mm

The R is already 10mm lower than Standard GT so if you use these H&R Springs they will lower the R a further 25mm only.

And the info is on the H&R site

And to add to all of the above (which is correct), I have had these fitted since last September, the ride is not harsh at all, no problems with speed humps etc and the ACC works fine, if you look at chungsters mini dyno thread on here in the R section he took some photos of our cars together to compare height difference, so should give you some indication of looks at least
I was also told R specific Eibach springs were in the pipeline last August, so glad I never waited as still no sign !

It does look good, does it feel any worse than before ?

[Jane]

Feels a firmer ride yes, but TBH I can't now really remember what it was like before, it's like child birth, you soon forget ! I like a hard ride anyway and I would certainly NOT describe it as that at all or harsh, doesn't feel uncomfortable on long journeys at all. Looks sooo much better, holds the road better, how it should be really.

I see, thank you, so they are the same springs you mean?

That's the US distributor site.

You need to use http://www.h-r.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Have fun!

H&R makes 2 types of Springs for the Scirocco, and which one is suitable for your car depends on whether your cars max front axle load is over 1200kgs or not

Thank you for clearing things up! btw, since i've never driven the R before, do you think the stock swaybars are good enough? or is it worth to change also? thats cus i could get a discount if i do it together with the springs thanks!

So what you mean is that i should go for the 29013-2 as stated above? that includes R, is that correct?

[wigit]

maybe you should drive it as these things are often down to personal taste

[oda]

anyone has news about eibach's progress on scirocco R springs? if not, maybe i will just go for H&R

[Chungster]

I've given up on Eibachs and ordered some H&Rs instead.

any comments on the H&R's?

Not driven it much since fitting but looks better! Janes car feels fine with them.

I will do a proper test soon

I've got a 61 plate 2.0 tsi dsg with Dcc. I've had my Rocca lowered with H+R springs around 7 months ago. Not sure if I need to get the Dcc reset, but my springs move in the shocks, you can hear it creak and pop while turning at low speeds. Was told it needed time to settle down but I basically think lowering with DCC on the car is a bad move.
